* autoconf.texi (AC_FUNC_SETVBUF): Do not mention which systems
might have their setvbuf() arguments reordered. It's difficult to
accurately determine and is not essential. Fix for autoconf/7.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDC): Define ISLOWER and ISUPPER
macros correctly on EBCDIC systems. Contributed by Kurt D.
Zeilenga <kurt@openldap.org>. Fix for autoconf/6.
* autoreconf.sh: Do not run autoheader if AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
commented out in configure.in. Reported by Erez Zadok
<ezk@cs.columbia.edu> as a fix for autoconf/21.
* config.guess: Clear the CCOPTS environment variable before
invoking the C compiler on HP-UX. This is necessary to guarantee
that the test program is compiled correctly. Reported by Dietmar
P. Schindler <schd@mra.man.de>.
* configure.in: Check if an appropriate version of GNU m4 is
installed at configure-time rather than at runtime. From Pavel
Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>. Fix for autoconf/2.
Fix for autoconf/28.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Don't assume LF is \012, use
`echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
* autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
* configure: Rebuilt.
* autoreconf.sh: Recognise -v as a synonym for --verbose.
1999-09-07 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* Makefile.in (INSTALL, standards.info, autoconf.info): MiKTeX
for Windows treats all options after the first filename as
additional filenames, so real options must appear before the first
filename.
1999-09-07 Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
* autoconf.texi (LDFLAGS, LIBS): Document that -L linker flags
should be kept in LDFLAGS and not LIBS.
1999-09-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@ascend.com>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS): Use $ac_lib as the index, not $i.
* acgeneral.m4 (CONFIG_AUX_DIRS): Try running `shtool install'.
Contributed by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>.
1999-09-04 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Use POSIX compliant shell code on DG/UX.
Suggested by Stephen Gildea <gildea@alum.mit.edu>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Output comment to not only
`Makefile', but also `makefile'.
1999-09-04 Jim Blandy <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>
* Makefile.in (install): Don't freak if the M4FROZEN files were
never generated. m4 1.1 is supported, but doesn't freeze files.
1999-09-04 Scott Bambrough <scottb@netwinder.org>
* config.guess: Autodetect ArmLinux using 2.9.1.xx linker
emulation names and using the emulation names from the linker from
the binutils CVS tree.
* config.sub: Change manufacturer name for the NetWinder alias
from Corel to Rebel.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADER): Define.
1999-08-18 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Remove "/MP" from the release string on
multiprocessor x86 machines running SVR4.0. Suggested by Tom
Purcell <Tom.Purcell@wang.com>.
1999-08-16 Kaveh R. Ghazi <ghazi@caip.rutgers.edu>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Add optional third argument
INCLUDES, which specifies the headers in which to search for the
type in question. Also, pass a "description" argument to
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
* acconfig.h (mode_t, off_t, pid_t, size_t): Remove definitions.
* autoconf.texi (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Document optional third argument.
Merge with the EGCS source tree.
* config.guess: Add detection for Interix and UWIN on Windows NT,
OpenBSD on PA-RISC and UnixWare version 7.x.
Improve usage of `tr' where sets are concerned.
Detect all HP 9000 machines.
Determine machine types more completely on older UnixWare systems.
Determine C library version on GNU/Linux for the PowerPC.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): set INSTALL_SCRIPT to
${INSTALL} so that automake doesn't propogate install time flags
for INSTALL_PROGRAM into INSTALL_SCRIPT.
* autoreconf.sh (verbose): use either `:' or `echo'.
(aclocal_m4): Renamed from aclocal.
(aclocal_flags): New var.
Run aclocal using $aclocal_flags.
Redirect ls' stderr to /dev/null to avoid spurious messages.
* mkinstalldirs: Add `-m' flag to specify the mode of a newly
created directory. Add command line usage and `-h', `--help'
options. Contributed by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>.
* config.guess: Avoid the possibility of `ld' on GNU/Linux
systems being something other than the GNU linker (such as a
directory, in the case of GNU binutils).
* acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT): Do not consider `.xcoff' as a
possible executable filename extension. Contributed by Robert
S. Maier <rsm@math.arizona.edu>.
* standards.texi: Update from FSF.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Avoid using the installation
script belonging to HP `pwplus' when running the install
program. Contributed by Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
and Dave Adams <adams@hpesdwa.fc.hp.com>.
* config.sub: Recognise hppa2.0w. Contributed by Erez Zadok
<ezk@cs.columbia.edu>.
1999-03-11 Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
* config.guess: Prefer $HOST_CC over $CC when deciding on a C
compiler to compile stub programs. Allow this to be overridden
with the value of $BUILD_CC in cross-compilation environments
where the native compiler must be used for running tests on the
host.
* install-sh: Avoid trailing whitespace.
* autoscan.pl (parse_args): Make compatible with Perl version 4.
1999-02-24 Ben Elliston <bje@cygnus.com>
* config.guess: Detect LynxOS 3.x. Contributed by Giuseppe
Guerrini <guisguerrini@racine.ra.it>.
1999-02-10 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_LOAD): Avoid sourcing special files.
Works around bug in some versions of bash.
* autoconf.texi (System Services): Explain the semantics of the
AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS macro in greater detail. Suggested by
Franc,ois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): Explicitly require
AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_TARGET and AC_CONICAL_BUILD.
(AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Run auxillary shell scripts through $SHELL.
Do not rely on their magic number.
(AC_CANONICAL_THING): New macro. Cache results.
(AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Reimplement; use AC_CANONICAL_THING.
(AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Likewise.
(AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): Likewise.
(AC_OUTPUT): Use $SHELL.
(AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Don't need backticks. This is a
performance enhancement for about a 5% reduction in the runtime of
the generated configure script.
* config.guess: Recognise armv[234][lb] types (ie. `armv*').
1999-01-12 Scott Bambrough <scottb@corelcomputer.com>
* config.sub: Recognize armv[234][lb] types (ie. `armv*'). Add
alias for the NetWinder; set company to `corel'.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Substitute @CXXCPP@ correctly
when $CXXCPP is overridden in the supervisory shell. Contributed
by Michael Schoene <mrs@mlc.de>.
